Silver gilt, also known as gilding, is a technique used to embellish and enhance various metallic objects. However, there are several terms that are used to describe objects adorned with this beautiful material. One such term is "vermeil," which refers to silver that has been gilded with a layer of gold. Another term is "gold-filled," which means that the metal object has a layer of gold that covers a base metal or alloy. "Gold-plated" is also another common term that is used to refer to objects that have undergone a similar process. Regardless of the term, silver gilt provides a stunning and elegant finish to many objects.
